Crete (Greek Kriti) is the largest Greek island and the fifth-largest in the Mediterranean (8,336 square kilometres), sitting at the southern boundary of the Aegean Sea, 160 kilometres south of the Cycladic chain — an autonomous Greek region of about 624,000 residents with a strong distinct Cretan dialect and cultural identity. The island is internationally significant as the home of the Minoan civilisation, the first European Bronze Age literate civilisation (2700-1450 BC), with the central palace of Knossos 5 kilometres inland from Heraklion. The four main north-coast charter bases are Heraklion (capital, central), Chania (northwest, with the Venetian-Ottoman harbour town inside the 16th-century walls), Rethymno (between them), and Agios Nikolaos (northeast, near the offshore Spinalonga island leper colony). The south coast holds remote anchorages reachable only by sail or 4WD overland, including the Samaria Gorge outlet at Agia Roumeli. Crete is 8 hours from Santorini by sail. Season runs April through October.
